“Research for a life without cancer" is our mission at the German Cancer Research Center. We investigate how cancer develops, identify cancer risk factors and look for new cancer prevention strategies. We develop new methods with which tumors can be diagnosed more precisely and cancer patients can be treated more successfully. Every contribution counts – whether in research, administration or infrastructure. This is what makes our daily work so meaningful and exciting.
The National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) is a long-term cooperation between the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), excellent partners in university medicine, and other research institutions at six locations in Germany. The goal of the NCT is to bring promising results from cancer research into clinical application quickly and safely. This approach is intended to provide cancer patients with nationwide access to innovative treatment options.
One of the six NCT sites is the NCT Berlin, which is a collaboration between the DKFZ, Charité—Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Berlin Institute of Health (BIH), and the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) in the Helmholtz Association.
At the earliest date possible, the NCT Berlin is looking for a Software Engineer / Bioinformatician.
The BIH Core Unit Bioinformatics provides services for efficient, reproducible, and reliable omics data analysis as well as establishing new technologies for interdisciplinary data utilization, including all necessary system and the process innovations. The position will contribute to the further development of multi-omics data management processes and application of cloud systems for data analysis, exploration, and interpretation. These activities will enable the NCT to pursue its key goals, e.g., by efficiently integrating and utilizing genomics, proteomics, and single cell transcriptomics data to support clinical studies for precision oncology and further facilitating secondary use of data from sources like the NCT MASTER study. You will be part of the NCT Berlin and the wider NCT community and will also work closely with the GHGA team ( ), as well as with the Charité's pathology department and the whole genome diagnostics model project, led by Dr. Manuela Benary.
We are looking for a Software Engineer / Bioinformatician to join our team as soon as possible. This is a full-time position (currently 39.5 hours per week), based in Berlin.
